Summary
What pieces of advice are Lando Norris, Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton - three F1 drivers at very different stages of their careers - most in need of?
In this special edition of Stay On Track, Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert have their say as they answer YOUR questions about contemporary F1, their grand prix racing careers and much more.
Find out whether either of them would like to drive the 2026 generation of cars (and the answer's a short one), whether they regret not making more of their respective talks with McLaren and Ron Dennis, what happens when friends collide on-track... and, of course, whether Damon really did drive to victory in the 1994 British GP with a Scotch egg in his pocket gifted to him by comedian Bob Mortimer.

And the first words that came out of his mouth were, I need to change you. I did have regrets, |
| 0:40.9 | because the moment I put the phone down to him and said, you can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. I phoned him back about him at his day show. I mean, I might have been a bit hasty. |
